Tourism and Casinos

   The first way casinos help the economy is by bringing tourists into the city or state where they are located. This is important because if people are traveling it means that people are spending money and that goes into the economy. Consumer confidence is very important to an economy and if people are going to visit casinos to stay the night at or just to visit they are most likely spending money there. It also benefits other businesses around the casinos because people are probably visiting those places on there trip too. Casinos can help turn a run down town into a tourist attraction for everyone to visit and help this can boost the economy.
